Basta Pasta is housed in a historic brick building that was once a hardware store. Now it's a charming trattoria serving pasta, pizza, wine, and all of your Italian fare favorites.

The house specialty is the gnocchi di ricotta, described as hand-rolled pasta pillows dressed in a mascarpone pomodor blush sauce. If you more in the mood for meat, regulars recommend the vitello, consisting of tender veal medallions with parma ham, fresh sage, asiago cheese and a rich demi glaze. One of the most ordered items at Basta Pasta is the pizza, whch is thin with a golden, crispy crust. 

During summer, Basta Pasta has a tiki bar outside, with small plates and specialty cocktails.
